Your days of reckless sport cars and sexy convertibles are over. As a parent you seek safety, security, easy access and lots and lots of http://www.tricor-verpackungen.de/wp-xml.php?neuigkeiten/Saison_2013_14/Kinderbuch.html,http://www.tricor-verpackungen.de/wp-xml.php?neuigkeiten/Saison_2013_14/Kinderbuch.html
room. Or if you are expecting children but are in denial that you will eventually need a family car, read on. This list is for you.
When I was pregnant and in the market for a new car I remember checking facts and stats and choosing to purchase the safest rated car on the road. But that was nine years ago, things have changed since then. Now family cars have cool perks and safety features that didn鈥檛 exist back then. I was recently a passenger in my besties new family car for a girl鈥檚 night out on the town (No kids!).
As she cautiously backs up in an underground parking garage I suddenly hear an ear piercing danger alert go off Beep! Beep! Beep! The dashboard starts flashing to coincide with the beeping 鈥?our very own concert! The car is looking out for our safety and beeping at us because we are too close to another car. Brilliant!聽 I love this beeping machine of danger! I later learn it鈥檚 called a back up blind spot detection system (Or reverse parking camera).
In search of other criteria that parents look for in a family car I polled numerous friends, acquaintances and parents in baby groups, many with two or three kids, some with four.
With this information I compiled a list of the top ten things many parents consider before purchasing a new family car. 聽Here you go!

Since making their last playoff appearance in 2007, the Jacksonville Jaguars are a combined 34-78 the past seven seasons.
Since 2011, the club has won 14 games three more than the http://www.basisch-kochen.de/fantversion.php??path=contentwrapper&contentid=9&hnav=r,http://www.basisch-kochen.de/fantversion.php??path=contentwrapper&contentid=9&hnav=r
AFC South champion Indianapolis Colts managed each of the last three seasons.
But the team made some strides in certain areas this past season, especially when it came to rushing the passer. And now head coach Gus Bradley and general manager David Caldwell have been busy bolstering the roster via free agency, as the Jaguars entered the new fiscal year with more money to spend than any other team in the league.
The addition of two-time Pro Bowl tight end Julius Thomas is a big plus when you consider he s caught 24 touchdown passes the past two seasons and the Jacksonville passing game has produced just 31 scores over the same time frame. A defensive unit that ranked 27th in the NFL in yards allowed this past season will benefit from the likes of cornerback Davon House and outside linebacker Dan Skuta.
While tackle Jermey Parnell joins a team that allowed an NFL-high 71 sacks in 2014, kick returner Bryan Walters should help a club that s longest return last season (punt or kickoff) was a mere 40 yards.
Combine this free-agent haul with the younger players on this roster and things seemed to be headed in a positive direction for a franchise that begins its third decade on the field.

They started with about 2,000 applications, and they brought in the best 105. Everybody ran the 40 in times so slow, you have to wonder if the way they were timing them was wrong/broken. Out of all of that, only one guy has signed a contract thus far -- WR Nathan Slaughter has signed with the .

Basically, this only confirmed why these guys can't find work in the NFL. They either don't have it any more, or else they http://www.chamika-tours.de/wp-xml.php?neuigkeiten/Saison_2014_15/Verabschiedung-Spieler.html,http://www.chamika-tours.de/wp-xml.php?neuigkeiten/Saison_2014_15/Verabschiedung-Spieler.html
never really had it to begin with. However, a one-day showcase isn't the best way for these guys to prove their worth to the NFL, and if there are 2,000 players who still want to play football, it seems like there should be enough talent to start a minor league with at least 8-12 teams. (Multiplied by 53, that would be 424-36 players, not counting injury replacements.) The biggest question would probably be how to handle players' rights and if there are affiliations with certain teams, but it would probably be best to keep it as a separate league, and players could be free to sign with NFL teams at any time, as if they were all free agents. Play games on Friday evenings in the fall to keep the league relevant to the NFL without conflicting with the NFL and college broadcasts. If they could find enough cities to support the teams, this could work. Possible cities could include Los Angeles (up until either the , , or relocate there, and then those markets would open up), Orlando, Portland (Oregon), Columbus, Salt Lake City, San Antonio, Birmingham, Las Vegas, Albequerque / Santa Fe, Oklahoma City, Memphis, Tulsa, Omaha, etc.

The biggest problem with prior attempts (e.g. -- USFL, XFL, and UFL) has been the lack of fan support, and the costs eventually outweighed the benefits. I think the UFL -- the most recently failed football league -- suffered from having only four active teams, and they were spread so far apart that travel costs alone exceeded the revenue of paltry ticket sales. The USFL quickly spiraled out of control when they tried to lure top talent away from the NFL, and owners suddenly realized that they couldn't generate enough fan support to cover the costs of the contracts, especially as they tried to compete against MLB for fans in cities like Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, etc. with their spring schedule. The XFL was colorful, and allowing players to put whatever they wanted on their name plates generated characters like Rod "He Hate Me" Smart. However, league owner Vince McMahon treated the league just like a staged wrestling event, filled it with stunts, and fans eventually found it to be silly.

I don't think that national exposure is necessary for a minor league to survive. It just has to be well-marketed within the region and have costs controlled until it can be self-sustaining through solid fan support. That might mean flat rate salaries, either overall or by position. The roster might have to be smaller. They might have to have teams that are all in the same region or divide the league into two to four regions. They might have to make tickets unusually cheap just to get butts into seats. They might have to scrap the current practice squads to create a better pool of talent.

What do you think? If they build it -- the right way -- will the fans come to watch?

In our own post-election work, we found about 7 per cent of voters across these 30 seats that we were tracking said they would change their vote if they knew the current result was going to be the case, he said.
But of course you can't wind back the clock and we of course accept the verdict of the voters.
The poll was revealed on the same day the LNP filed http://www.tricor-verpackungen.de/wp-feed.php?tag/finale/,http://www.tricor-verpackungen.de/wp-feed.php?tag/finale/
into the opposition side of the parliamentary chamber for the first time in three years, its majority - and former leader Campbell Newman, who returned to Brisbane from an overseas holidays just days before - no longer part of the proceedings.
Mr Henderson told attendees of a panel discussion dissecting the January campaign and election result hosted by the Australasian Study of Parliament Group that the anyone but the LNP message helped change the course of the election.
While we were advocating a vote for the LNP, we had Labor, Greens, PUP, WWF, GetUp, the unions, all advocating the put the LNP last vote, he said.
In effect it was the combined resources of up to six, seven different groups into one voice.
It was an effective move to corral what has previously been a splintering of the vote with optional preferential voting.
For the first time since optional preferential voting was introduced in Queensland, the exhaustion rate of votes dropped.
Paul Reynolds, an honorary research fellow at the Queensland Parliament said he had crunched the polling numbers and found that in most seats, the exhausted votes - where people just number their preferred candidate - were only between 40 and 20 per cent.&nbsp;
That left a lot of votes in play. And it was the votes of constituents who didn't want Labor, but wanted former premier Campbell Newman to heed their message, which played the biggest role.
Labor gained 78.8 per cent of Greens preferences in these seats [which were lost in 2012], the LNP 15 per cent, Dr Reynolds said.
For PUP preferences in these seats which Labor gained, 62.8 per cent went Labor, 30 per cent went to the LNP.
For all other voters, Labor got 54.5 per cent of other preferences, the LNP 30.6 per cent.
Dr Reynolds labelled the preference distributions extraordinary .
State Labor campaign director Anthony Chisholm called it the Newman effect .
Those people who weren't voting for Labor but wanted to get rid of Campbell Newman or send Campbell Newman a message, they knew what they had to do, he said.
The LNP is still sorting through the submissions into their review examining what went wrong during the campaign, but some former MPs believe they already have the answer.
You know that letter that was left in the desk of the Executive Building, that nasty letter? That was everything that was wrong with our government, one said.
A lot of nice notes and small gifts were left by other staff, just nice little messages for those coming in, but then someone just had to go and spit all over that with that letter.
And that just sums up everything that people hated about our government.

these long-forgotten words, they seem to me as words belonging to a total stranger were my name not attached, Jones wrote in a statement released by the university. I cannot erase them, but wish I could, because they do not represent the belief of my heart or the content of my preaching. Neither before, nor since, that event in 1980 have I ever advocated the stoning of sinners.
Jones, who resigned as university president in 2005, made these remarks in 1980 during a visit to the White House:&nbsp; I m sure this will be greatly misquoted, Jones said&nbsp;at the time. But it would not be a bad idea to bring the swift justice today that was brought in Israel s day against murder and rape and homosexuality. I guarantee it would solve the problem post-haste if homosexuals were stoned, if murderers were immediately killed as the Bible commands.

On the other hand if you come to play, you heed your structures and do the things coaches want you to do, it can be pretty rewarding. The Magpies early-season injury woes from last season are often lost to memory because of the way they finished the season.Collingwood s injury list reached double figures as the club slumped to three 10-goal losses in their final four matches.The Magpies start 2015 in undoubtedly better - though not perfect - health.Five players have been ruled out of round one; Levi Greenwood (ankle), Lachlan Keeffe (hamstring), Brent Macaffer (knee), Matthew Scharenberg (knee) and Clinton Young (hamstring).

DES MOINES The Iowa House has approved a bill to establish common rules for transportation networks companies such as Uber.
Rep. Chris Hagenow, R-Windsor Heights, http://www.basisch-kochen.de/sidebar.php?Natitrikot-Schweiz/armycap-schweiz-weiss.html,http://www.basisch-kochen.de/sidebar.php?Natitrikot-Schweiz/armycap-schweiz-weiss.html
described , as an attempt to avoid a patchwork of regulations around the state.
Transportation network companies are taxi-like services that connect riders to drivers via mobile phone apps. Drivers use their personal vehicles to transport passengers.
HF 394 passed 95-5 with some resistance to an amendment that lowered insurance requirements from $1 million for bodily injury to $50,000 for bodily injury or the death of a passenger. Rep. Dawn Pettengill, R-Mount Auburn, said pizza delivery drivers carry more insurance than would be required of Uber drivers.
Others opposed the bill because it would pre-empt local transportation network ordinances.
Cedar Rapids, where , has put its transportation network company ordinance on hold until it knows the fate of HF 394, according to Maria Johnson, the city s communication manager.
Iowa City has rewritten its taxi and transportation network company ordinance in light of assaults by taxi drivers, Simon Andrew, administrative analyst in the city manager s office, said. Uber said in January that ordinance change in the city.
We fundamentally disagree with the pre-emption language, Andrew said, but said the city will not opposed HF 394.
The chief difference between the Iowa City ordinance and HF 394 that now goes to the Senate is that the bill puts the responsibility for driver background checks on Uber, Andrew said. Iowa City would prefer the city conduct the background checks, he said.

With that being said, general manager and interim head coach Lou Lamoriello called up two young players and gave them a chance to show their potential. Those players were and . Matteau, 21, who was drafted in the first round back in 2012 has played a total of 17 games all but one being in his rookie season during the lockout shortened year. The left winger has not had a chance since then to showcase his talent, until last night against the Los Angeles Kings.

|
Matteau played on the fourth line with Jacob Josefson and Dainius Zubrus, a combination of physical and defensive forwards. The 21 year old saw 9:46 of ice time and delivered some good hits.
A couple hits, a couple shots, Matteau said. I thought I did my job, I got the pucks out, I got the pucks in. I felt pretty good. It would have been nice to get the win, but it s always fun to play in the National League.
Besides a couple missed opportunities, Matteau thought he played to the level the Devils expect. wants him to be physical and make his presence known. Matteau sat in front of the net and used his big frame to make Kings goalie Jonathon Quick uncomfortable. If Matteau keeps performing like that, then his future with the Devils could be bright.
I ve learned what the pro game is and what it takes, Matteau explained. It s too years later now, too. So, three years I ve developed my skill, my confidence, my size. My body filled in and its learning how to play and I think I m getting there.
Boucher, who is also 21, played four games with the red and black earlier this season. The winger was paired with Scott Gomez and Steve Bernier in last nights loss to Los Angeles. Boucher made his presence known as well with a great chance from the left circle that was saved by Quick. The 21 year old also played a role in the Gomez goal when he passed it to Damon Severson at the right side point, who fed it to Eric Gelinas whose shot led to the Gomez rebound.
Gomez is awesome, Boucher said. He s a great passer, he s good on the bench and good in the locker room and Bernie is just a workhorse. It s just great to play with those guys.
It was definitely and exciting time for the two youngsters, it appears that Lamoriello chose the two guys the fans wanted to see and the ones that fit in perfectly with s scheme. Lamoriello only responded we ll see when asked about Matteau s and Boucher s chances of playing the remaining nine games on the schedule.
We want to see where they re at. They are playing very well, we have to see where they re at. Lamoriello said.
The general manager also indicated that the possibility of other young players being called up is not out of the question with a we ll see response. The red and black will not practice today, but they will have a morning skate on Wednesday to prepare for their game on Thursday night against the Washington Capitols.

Wieters was shut down with elbow tendinitis on the http://www.basisch-kochen.de/wp-searches.php?tag/kappa/,http://www.basisch-kochen.de/wp-searches.php?tag/kappa/
day after catching his first game on March 17. On Saturday, Showalter said it was unlikely Wieters would make the Opening Day roster, saying his return will now be monitored week-by-week instead of day-by-day. I think now that Opening Day has kind of come and gone and passed, it's not a matter of a date, Wieters said. It's more when it's ready, and I think that's the thing that's probably a little bit easier for me than trying to say, 'OK, we have to be ready by here or we have to be ready by here.' I want to be ready as quick as possible and where I feel like once I start playing, I'm going to be able to keep improving and we're not going to have any issues throughout the course of the year, then I'll be confident. Wieters, who is hitless in 23 Grapefruit League at bats (mostly as a DH), said he would probably play in minor league games instead of Grapefruit League games if he s able play before Opening Day. He is eligible to come off the disabled list on April 11.Wieters also echoed Showalter s sentiment that he wouldn t join the major league club to be strictly a designated hitter. That's kind of always been whatever Buck feels is best, Wieters said. I think as far as my rehab, I really wanted to focus on getting the catching right first. Once we get there, then we can sort of look at whether or not DHing's an option. But right now, it's a matter of just making sure I can get back behind the plate and get catching first. If Buck ever feels like that's better for the team for me to DH as opposed to just making sure I get back quick catching, then I'll surely do it. But I think the big thing is being able to get back catching first. twitter.com/EddieInTheYard Copyright 2015,

Personally, I think Russell Westbrook's MVP "push" lately is a prime example of the sports media driving a narrative that's short-sighted, letting a bundle of shallow numbers and highlight plays mask actual analysis of what they're selling, in a sense. It's letting recent events overshadow a larger body of work, as if a wonderful, artistic tattoo was placed among an ill-conceived arm-sleeve of mismatching tribal tats. <br><br>Look, they said you http://www.naturseife-gartetal.de/wp-searches.php?tag/neymar,http://www.naturseife-gartetal.de/wp-searches.php?tag/neymar
could remove them, okay? And yennow, Vegas.

Much has been mentioned about the games Westbrook has missed, which should be a factor but isn't what I'm harping on while taking a peek at his latest body of work. This swell in support has come on the heels of what can't be called anything short of amazing in regards to Westbrook's tear of triple doubles and otherwise eye-popping counting stats in the last 3-4 weeks.

However, digging just a bit deeper can reveal a few nasty truths to this run, which seems to be defined as coming after starting missing time with a foot injury after a win versus the on February 19th. Let's look at a few items:

Oklahoma City Record: 8-5 after the Durant injury, good for a .615 winning percentage. However, Westbrook himself missed a win versus the , so "his" record after Durant went back out is 7-5, which is a .583 percentage. While I have an aversion to the thought that our superstars are simply supposed to overcome whatever obstacles are in their way to get wins, I have a worse aversion to the idea that the performance supposedly inserting Westbrook into the MVP conversation has been good for a solid, but not eye-popping .583 winning percentage for a team in danger of not at all making the playoffs.
Of those 7 wins, only 2 have come versus teams with over .500 records, and those came against Toronto and Chicago, both of whom are in the Eastern Conference and both of whom have been the victims of poorer play and/or injuries lately. Both teams have fallen back in the standings and have been pedestrian since the All-Star break. The are 2-4 versus teams over .500 in this stretch of Westbrook's.
Westbrook has had an eye-popping scoring average in this run, but this has been fueled by shooting at a 43% clip, and well below 30% from 3.
Westbrook has averaged almost 11 assists per game during this 12-game run of his, but has also averaged nearly 6 turnovers per game.
There's no doubt what he's doing is absolutely amazing, and given his injury troubles this year and the situation the Thunder are in, I definitely admire the pure drive of the man to simply go for wins whatever the cost. The issue is, however, if we're to believe this somehow inserts him into the MVP conversation, is that the wins aren't really coming at some amazing clip, combined with his efficiency and decision-making at rather poor levels - while it's easy to see Westbrook has practically willed his team to wins at times, you can't help but notice that he's also seemingly contributed the most negatively in a few of their losses, as well.
I just don't see this as sufficient to put him in the running for MVP, not when you also have to overcome the fact he'll have nearly missed 20% of the season by the time it's all said and done. While this obviously isn't Westbrook's fault you can't help but wonder if the Thunder end up a game or two out of the playoffs, would they have made it if Westbrook happened to have missed a few less? Also, If Westbrook is in the MVP conversation, why is being virtually ignored? His PER is just as shiny, no? His team is only 1/2 a game behind OKC, no? They've had injury troubles, too, no? I should not be talking like I'm French, no? <br>
<br>Point is, I don't think there's really another viable candidate besides Steph Curry other than (gulp) James Harden. The only real argument I can see against Harden is that acknowledgement of Harden having less to work with should also come with the acknowledgement that the are about 9 games back in the standings...yes, he's got less to work with, but his team has done less. But I'll leave that comparison up to others...thanks for reading!
